We always choose this hotel to stay at when available. Past few times we’ve noticed that the breakfast food is not warmed up properly. Potatoes were either cold and watery or the larger chunks were still crunchy. Other than that, everything was fine.

Stayed one night since we were meeting friends for a hike in Montana De Oro State Park. Convenient location right off the highway. Plenty of safe, well lit parking. It is in an area with other similar hotels plus gas stations and shopping and restaurants very close by. The hallways were brightly lit and clean, the elevators were fast and our double queen room was sparkling clean with comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and easy and quiet temperature controls. The complimentary breakfast was above and beyond what I was expecting. There were hot food offerings, oatmeal, a waffle station, cold cereal, breakfast bread and a juice bar. You cannot go wrong with this hotel. I would stay here again. I love the Hampton/Hilton Brand.

The free breakfast was of decent quality, and the location was close to several good areas. The rooms were clean and had adequate utilities. The only issue was a misunderstanding due to booking through a third-party service.
